How do you make electricity out of lemon juice?
Connect a wire to two pieces of dissimilar metals (zinc, iron, copper...) then place them in the lemon juice being careful to not let them touch. Other elements sometimes work together to make electricity. A combination of some metals may not produce measurable electricity, but most will. Note! Alloys don't count. It has to be relatively pure metal. Zinc and carbon work together well, since that's the two materials that are used in batteries.
